Summary Introduction
To determine:
The technique for the isolation of mutant culture from replica plate and if this technique involves catabolic or anabolic mutant.
Introduction:
Replica plating is a technique, in which secondary plates having a minimal media along with other ingredients such as antibiotics are inoculated by transferring the colonies from primary plate.
